{"product_id":"lightning-whelk","title":"Lightning Whelk","description":"\u003cp\u003eShaped by the tides of the Gulf of Mexico, the Lightning Whelk is a masterpiece of individuality. Its graceful shell twists in a rare left-handed spiral, while jagged ribbons of amber and chestnut descend like flashes of lightning across a field of ivory. Reaching an extraordinary 16 inches, this powerful marine predator has become one of the Gulf Coast's most recognizable natural treasures and the official state shell of Texas. A reminder that nature's greatest masterpieces are often those that dare to follow a different path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name: \u003c\/strong\u003eLightning Whelk\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eScientific Name:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Sinistrofulgur perversum\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Western Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMaximum Size:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 16 in (41 cm)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEach piece is a unique creation of nature, with individual variations in color, size, and form.
